This is a pretty damning “they used assets of when they were under contract”, so, for once, squeenix isn’t entirely in the wrong.

Depends what the contract says. If some line somewhere says that the developer retains copyright if Square Enix cancels their end of the deal, then the developer is correct.

The only thing we on the outside can make a somewhat educated guess on is that probably both sides think they're in the right. Maybe details of the contract were lost in translation between Japanese and Chinese.

The notable detail I find interesting is that they try to stop the US release of the game whereas the Japanese and Chinese release went ahead just fine and SE only later decided to sue in Japan as well.

Worst case scenario, 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️
